1 General Information
A powertrain interface module (PIM) is fitted that incorporate the following functionality:
Communication protocol between the engine control module (ECM), transmission c ontrol module (TCM) and the
electronic control unit (ECU) of the antilock braking and traction control system, is General Motors Local Area
Network (GM LAN) .
ECM to PIM and PIM to body control module (BCM) authentication for vehicle security.
The following switches input directly into the PIM:
Automatic transmission power mode switch.
Electronic stability program enable / disable switch.
Active select switch.
Cruise control switch.
Reverse lamp relay operation for the 5L40E automatic transmission is con t rolled by the PIM.
The PIM provides a signal to the dual park assist control module when the automatic transmission is in either park
or neutral. For further information on the dual park assist system, refer to Section 12F2 Dual Park Assist.
1.1 General Description
Serial Data Communication
The various electronic control modules communicate with each other through the seria l data bus. The ECM, TCM and
ABS-TCS / ESP ECU communicate on the serial data bus using the GM LAN communication protocol, whilst the BCM
communicates with the instrument cluster, Audio Head Unit (AHU) and Oc cupant Protection System Sensing and
Diagnostic Module (SDM) using the universal asynchronous receive and transmit (UART) communication protocol.
Figure 6E1 – 2 shows the serial data layout.
NOTE
Serial data components shown in Figure 6E1 – 2
will vary depending on vehicle options.
The PIM is integrated into the serial data network and acts as a transparent bi-directional translation device that enable s
the control modules on the GM LAN serial data bus to communicate with control modules on the UART serial data bus.
For further information on the UART serial data bus, refer to Section 12J Body Control Module.
Bus
A bus is a physical circuit or circuits which provides a communication path between two or more control modules.
UART Serial Data Bus
UART communication uses a single wire circuit. For further information on the UART serial data bus, refer to
Section 12J Body Control Module.
GM LAN Serial Data Bus
The GM LAN bus is a two wire circuit (1), refer to Figure 6E1 – 1. The GM LAN bus circuits are terminated with cut-off
resistors (2) which are locate d inside the two control modules at either end of the bus circuit. The purpose of these cut- off
resistors is to prevent data from returning as an echo after reaching the end of the GM LAN bus circu it.
NOTE
For illustration purposes, the cut-off resistors are
shown outside of the control modules.
The two control modules with the cut-off resistors
are the PIM and the ECM.

Serial Data
When information is sent from one control module to another via the serial data bus, the information sent is known as
serial data. Serial data in its electronic form, is made up of rapi dly changing high to low voltage pu lses strung together.
Each string of voltage pulses represents a message.
GM LAN serial data has two data lines along which serial data is sent. These lines are kn own as CAN_HI and
CAN_LO.
CAN HI – The CAN HI data line is a 3.6 V data line that toggles the voltage between 2.5 V and 3.6 V
(referenced to ground). When there is no communication on the CAN HI data line, the system voltage
is 2.5 V.
CAN LO – The CAN LO data line is a 2.5 V data line that toggles the voltage between 2.5 V and 1.4 V
(referenced to ground). When there is no communication on the CAN LO data line, the system voltage
is 2.5 V.
UART serial data is a single 5 V data line that toggles the voltage to ground. When there is no communication o n
the data line, the system voltage is 5 V.
Serial Data Communication Protocols
General Motors Local Area Network (GM LAN)
GM LAN is a communication protocol based on the Controller Area Network physical layer. The main difference between
GM LAN and CAN is the way in which the messages are structured. It is a broadcast communic ations ch annel, not
master / slave like UART.
Universal Asynchronous Receive and Transmit (UART)
UART is a communication pro t ocol that has a master module which controls the message traffic on the serial data b us.
The body control module (BCM) is the UART bus master. The main difference b etween GM LAN and UART protocol is
that UART relies on the bus master to control the messaging, where as with GM LAN, the messaging is managed by
each of the control modules.

3.1 Pow ertrain Interface Module
The powertrain interface module (PIM) is located on the
driver's instrument panel outer bracket and is accessible by
lowering the instrument panel lower trim panel assembly.
Figure 6E1 – 5
Communication Gateway
The PIM performs the following functions:
The PIM acts as the communication gateway between the GM LAN communications protocol an d the universal
asynchronous receive and transmit (UART) protocol.
As the GM LAN protocol is not compatible with UART, the PIM is integrated into the serial data commu nication
system to enable bi-directional communication flow between control modules on the UART side and the GM LAN
side of the communication net work.
The PIM converts analogue si gnals from the cruise control and traction control switches into digital serial data.
The PIM is responsible for au thenticating the body control module (BCM) prior to the engine control module (ECM)
authenticating the PIM. If any of these authentication processes fail, the vehicl e will not start. For further information
on the theft deterrent system, refer to Section 12J Body Control Module.

data, which is then used by the various vehicle control modules to perform varying functions.
Active Select Switch
The active select switch is located at the rear of the floor
console.
The active select switch is a momentary contact switch that
enables or disables active select. T he active select switch
inputs directly into the PIM. When the switch is pressed,
the PIM sends a message on the serial data bus to the
automatic transmission control module. For further
information on active select, refer to Section 7E1 Automatic
Transmission – 5L40E – General Information.

The switch is comprised of three momentary contact
switches which control the follo wing function s:
cruise control push button switch (ON–OFF),
cruise control resume – accelerate (RES–ACCEL),
and
cruise control set – decelerate (SET–DECEL).
The three cruise control switches directly input into the PIM.
When any of these s witches are activated, the PIM sends a
message on the serial data bus to the ECM. For further
information on the cruise control system, refer to
Section 12E Cruise Control.

4 Diagnostics
4.1 Diagnostic General Descriptions
The powertrain interface module (PIM) diagnostic procedure is organised in a logical structure that beg ins with the
Diagnostic System Check. The Diagnostic S ystem Check directs the diagnostic procedure to the logical steps or
appropriate diagnostic tab le re quired to diagnose a PIM fault condition.
The diagnostic tables locate a faulty circuit or component through a logical based proc ess of elimination. Correct use of
the diagnostic tables is essential to reduce di agnostic time and to prevent misdiagnosis.
In addition, the Diagnostic System Check provides the following information:
Identification of the PIM,
condition of the diagnostic circuit, and
identification and status of the DTCs if present.
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Tables
The diagnostic procedure is directed to a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) table if there are DT Cs currently stored in the
PIM.
The diagnostic tables are designed to locate a faulty circuit or component through a logical based process of elimination.
The diagnostic tables are developed with the following assumptions:
the vehicle functioned correctly at the time of assembly,
there are no multiple faults, and
the problem currently exists.
Multiple DTCs
When performing a DTC check and there are multiple DTCs, the diagnostic process must begin with the most likely DTC
that may trigger other DTCs. The following situation is an exampl e of a DT C that may trigger other vehicle system DTCs
to set.
If there is an open circuit condition with the CAN_HI circuit between the ABS-TCS / ESP ECU and the engine
control module (ECM), DTC U2105 Loss of Communicatio ns from ECM may set. This condition may also cause the
following DTCs to set in other control modules:
Instrument cluster – DTC 11 No Serial Data from the ECM.
ABS-TCS / ESP – DTC U2105 Lost Communication with the ECM.
Transmission Control Module (TCM) – DTC U2105 Lost Communicati on with the ECM.
Body Control Module (BCM) – DTC 7 No Serial Data from the ECM.
Knowledge of the PIM and Tech 2 limitations are important to reduce diagnostic time and to preve nt misdi agnosis. Refer
to 7.1 Diagnostic Requirements, Precautions and Preliminary Checks.
Powertrain Interface Module – V6 Page 6E1–17
Page 6E1–17
Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)
When the ignition s witch is turned on, the PIM performs an internal integrity check that detects and isolates any internal
faults. The PIM also monitors the cruise control and traction control switch circuit and the serial data bus for messages
from the control modules on the GM LAN bus and from the BCM on the UA RT bus. If a fault is detected by the PIM, it will
log a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) that represents the fault detected. The DTCs stored in the PIM may be accessed
using Tech 2. Refer to Section 0C Tech 2 for further information on Tech 2.
Status of DTCs
The PIM designates the DT Cs logged into a Current or History DTC.
Current DTCs
If the fault condition that triggers the DTC is present during the last PIM self test, that DTC will be designated as a current
DTC.
History DTCs
If the fault condition that triggers the DTC is not present during the last PIM self test, that DTC will be designated as a
history DTC.
Conditions for Clearing DTCs
If there is no DTC logged in the current PIM self test, the current DTC will be cleared.
If there is no DTC logged after 100 consecutive drive cycles, the history DTC will be cleare d.
Tech 2 PIM Diagnostic Tests
NOTE
Refer to Section 0C Tech 2 and the Tech 2 Users
Manual for detailed information and instructions
regarding the use of Tech 2.
Tech 2 Limitations
Some DTCs trigger other DTCs to set, which causes Tech 2 to display multiple DTCs. In those situations, Tech 2 may
display more DT Cs than is neede d to rectify a fault.
When Tech 2 displays an o utp ut function, it displays only the command given by the PIM. If a connector is disconnected,
that fault will not register in the PIM output function. Tech 2 does not verify the command action.
The service technician must understand t he system being diagnosed as well as the corre c t use and limitations of Tech 2
to be able to perform diagnostic procedures efficiently and successfully.
Tech 2 Intermittent Fault Tests
The following are lists of Tech 2 diagnostic tests that may be used to diagnose intermittent faults:
Wiggle test the suspected PIM wiring harness and connector while observing Tech 2 operating parameters of the
circuit being tested. If Tech 2 read-out fluctuates during this procedure, check the wiring harness circuit for loose
connection.
Road test the vehicle in conditions that trigger the intermittent fault while an assistant observes the susp ected
Tech 2 operating parameter data.
Capture and store data in the Snapshot mode when the fault occurs. The stored data may be repla yed at a slower
rate to aid in diagnostics. Refer to Tech 2 User Instructions for more infor mation o n the Snapshot function.
Operate suspected components to test their operation using Tech 2 Output Control Data.

Circuit Description
The transmission control module (TCM), ABS-TCS / ESP electronic control module (ECU) and engine control module
(ECM) transmit and receive data using the GM LAN serial data protocol, while the body control module (BCM) and other
vehicle control modules use the univ ersal asynchronous receive and transmit (UART) serial data protocol.
As the GM LAN and UART protocols are not compatibl e, a powertrain interface module (PIM) is integrated into the serial
data system to enable communication b etween the two different protocols.
The PIM monitors the UART serial data bus for traffic, and if the PIM does not detect any traffic on the UART serial data
bus, DTC U1304 sets.
Additional Information
Refer to 6 Wiring Diagram and Connector Chart for the foll owing information:
PIM connector illustration and terminal assignment, and
PIM wiring diagram.
Refer to Section 12J Body Control Module for BCM diagnosis.
For intermittent fault conditions, refer to 8 Intermittent Fault Conditions.

11 PIM Security and Programming
11.1 Security and Programming Information
Vehicle Security Card
When performing certain powertrain interface module (PIM)
programming functions using Tech 2, you may be prompted
to enter a four digit Security Code (1) a nd / or BCM six digit
Security Number (2). This information is found on the
vehicle security card issued with the vehicle when new. If
the card is unavailable, contac t the Holden Technical
Assistance (TAS) centre to obtain the relevant Security
Code and BCM security number.
Figure 6E1 – 36
Security Code
The security code is required when performing certai n PIM, BCM and ECM programming functions. When Tech 2
requests the security code to be entered, and an incorrect code is entered, the PIM will go into a security wait time stage.
This wait time stage will prevent any further attempts to enter the securit y code until the wait time has elapsed.
Should a second incorrect se curity code be entered after the initial wait time has elapsed, the PIM will go into a second
wait time stage. The wait time will increase each time an incorrect code is entered. When the correct code is entered the
wait time will reset back to its original value of 10 seconds.
NOTE
The ignition switch must be in the ON position
with the battery connected during the wait time
period.
The wait time stages are as follows:
Stage 1 = 10 seconds.
Stage 2 = 10 seconds.
Stage 3 = 10 minutes.
Stage 4 = 20 minutes.
Stage 5 = 40 minutes.
